No way that's going to happen.  There's no way to do it without
examining the tags in every file.  Who wants a scan for new music to
take as long as a full scan, which is what would happen if every file
is examined in detail?  Just do a clear/rescan if you're in the habit
of changing files without updating their mtime.  If SqueezeCenter ever
gets to the point where clearing the database (which takes just a split
second) is undesirable or unnecessary then add a third scan option to do
a full scan without first clearing the database.
